Links: Strawberries, Rhubarb, and a Cooking With Flowers Winner

My favorite farmers market opened for the season last weekend. I missed the first day because I was sleeping off the effects of food poisoning (which led straight into a week-long cold. The last month has been a doozy for me in terms of health), but I got out of bed this morning in plenty of time to fill my shopping bag with arugula, russian kale, asparagus, sorrel, green garlic, and an entirely indulgence cluster of fragrant lilac. Spring is here and it feels amazing.

Reading all your comments over the course of the last week on the Cooking With Flowers giveaway, about the many ways in which you guys eat flowers, made me continually hungry! Thank goodness spring is here and flowers are everywhere (even here in the city).

The winner is commenter #165, which is Linda. She said, “I like to add my arugula flowers to my salad.” Sounds delicious!
